The band have stated that they formed with the intention of emulating 1920s–1930s vocal jazz group The Boswell Sisters. As well as detecting influences from The Boswell Sisters, reviewers have also compared the band to Cab Calloway and Django Reinhardt.
Reviews of the band have been positive. OPB's show Oregon Art Beat praised the band's "high-energy shows" and "seamless harmonies". In a review of their album Sleepytime in Chinatown, the Jazz Society of Oregon praised its "impeccable harmonies" and "retro sound".
